About Dr. Provenzale
Dr. Donald Provenzale, Jr. graduated from Loyola University School of Dentistry, Maywood, IL in 1988 at the top of his class, and subsequently completed residency training in Anesthesiology at Illinois Masonic Medical Center, Chicago, IL,
in 1990.
At the time, he was conducting anesthesia research and was given the opportunity to pursue an M.D. degree and ultimately continue training toward becoming a board-certified Anesthesiologist. Due to his love for Dentistry, however, he declined the offer.
Since that time, he has amassed thousands of hours of post-doctoral dental education, primarily in the field of Implant Dentistry.
Dr. Provenzale is now recognized as a leader in the field, and is one of only
500 Dentists worldwide to be honored with the distinction of board-certification
in the emerging dental specialty of Oral Implantology.
He is an active member of the American Dental Association, American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and regularly volunteers for both the Illinois Foundation of Dentistry for the Handicapped and Donated Dental Services.
Dr. Provenzale, Jr.’s hobbies include playing trumpet in multiple bands and men’s-league ice hockey.
